The reason unr packages are slightly older in Intrepid is that they had to have a cut-off point somewhere, to have stable packages to upload.

We are approaching a stable release of all the packages very soon, at which point we will fix the naming (no ubuntu*) and switch to making regular releases. At this point I hope to start building intrepid packages as well as hardy packages so people using intrepid can keep up-to-date.

The issue with the launcher is that Intrepid uses a newer version of the Clutter libraries and therefore the launcher needs a massive amount of work to get it to the same level as the hardy one. netbook-launcher is an updated version which works with clutter-0.8, however it does have issues which we are trying to get fixed for Intrepid.

Currently, we hope to move to clutter-0.8 (in development) for unr 2.0. Until then, I will try and maintain updated netbook-launcher packages (with fixes forward-ported (?) from ume-launcher). It's not the greatest of situations, but there's just too much of a change from clutter-0.6->0.8 to switch now.
